Redesigned Fumes Recirculation System Separates Oil News

Caterpillar’s newC30 marine diesel engine is available for worldwide distribution. The electronically controlled C30 is in the same size class as the popular Cat 3412E, but adds 150 mhp (148 bhp) --- an 11 percent increase. The C30’s top rating of 1570 mhp (1550 bhp) at 2300 rpm provides a significant performance boost for 50+ ft (15+ m) yachts. The C30 was designed for high performance; it accelerates rapidly, cruises smoothly and has exceptional reserve power for challenging sea conditions. Twin Cat C30s have powered a new Spencer Yachts 57-foot sportfisher over 9,000 miles in the past 3 months, reaching a top speed of 44 knots. “Speed is a big deal in tournament fishing,” says Paul Spencer, president of Spencer Yachts.
